chapter 1 the lost boy

In chapter one I talk about my experiences when my mom and his dad were living in the same house together. Like always I was dealing with my mom’s games and arguing his mother’s beatings. My last fight with my mother she told me to get out of her house. I went out the front door running thinking my mother would get in the station wagon and come and get me I kept looking back thinking she would come and get me but she never did. I was so cold I went into the church down the street to get warm for a moment trying to hide from the preacher. Then after I was done I went into the pizza bar I spotted a quarter on the pool table my only thought was I needed that quarter for something to eat so I slowly walked pass the pool table and slid the quarter into my pocket. I was slowly making my way out of the pizza bar when suddenly the owner of the pizza bar comes behind me and tells me I need to give the quarter back I shook my head no.  Before I can tell him a lie the man said I saw you do it. The man explains to me that the guys by the pool table need to play pool so I give the quarter to him. I told him I would buy a piece of pizza with the quarter he explained to me that my mother missed me. He asked me a lot of questions then a police officer arrived at the pizza bar I thought I was in trouble and he insured that I was not in trouble the owner of the pizza bar gave me the

 Pizza he promised me the police officer took me to the station.
